“It Tastes Like the Sea”

Baker Binturong, 2015

Acrylic on canvas

You are looking at a tragic victim of a mass mermaid stranding, now so common on far Eastern shores that rescuers are suffering from compassion fatigue. Biologists are not in agreement as to the reason for the increase in mermaid wash-ups. Conjectures range from a distemper epidemic to the lure of Victoria Secret bra sales at the mall. Other scientists claim that adolescent mermaids do it on a dare and then get caught at low tide. The artist Binturong claims that this was the “last one left flapping” so he did what anystarving artist would have done - painted her, filleted her and then sold it to a posh sushi restaurant. The poor creature’s caviar he served at his first retrospective show, paired with a chilled New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. The art lovers exclaimed, “Delicious! But it’s absolutely heart rending to think about the plight of those unfortunate things. Can’t something be done?”
